Both us and our cats are very happy with this tree! It was easy to assemble and seems very sturdy. We bought it to replace an old carpet covered cat tree and I much prefer this, no carpet strands shedding everywhere! All of the posts are wrapped with rope for them to claw on, which they love, and the fabric covering the numerous platforms is soft but durable. The hammock is popular too! I'd definitely recommend this to anyone looking for an affordable yet durable cat tree.
